"free" formula

I just found out from my insurance company (Blue Cross/Blue Sheilds of Mass) that if I have a prescription from my pediatrician, that their formula is covered under my insurance plan. I called the insurance to confirm, which they did. My girls' pediatrician is writing a prescription for both of them. They are on Enfamil Lipil, which is just standard, nothing special. I couldn't believe it when a friend told me, but I called the insurance company, who confirmed, and my doc who wrote the prescription. I have no co-pay either. So, formula for both girls is FREE! Thought I would share if there are any folks out there with Blue Cross in Mass. If may be specific to the plan I have through my husband and my work, but I thought it might be worth it to post in case others want to call. For us moms of multiples, it could save thousands. And, it's covered up until they are a year old.

Hi Everyone,

Yep, I called member services and told them I heard that formula might be covered, and she checked my benefits plan and she it was. Have your membership card ready, because they ask for the number. One of the options when you get into the menu was medication or prescription benefits. I chose that and talked to a woman and asked her if formula was covered on my plan. She said it was up until the age of 1. So I called my pedi, who wrote me a prescription. I told them the formula and how much each child consumes daily, and got one for each child. You can have it filled at any pharmacy that sells formula in the store. So I checked around and Walgreens carries the formula (Enfamil Lipil). The woman who told me about this in the first place gets hers from Target, she's on a Nestle brand. I Hope it's covered for you....Good Luck!!

Odd question, but where did you get the adorable Thing 1 / Thing 2 blankets in your pictures? Because of being pregnant with twins I have officially become obsessed with the Thing 1 & Thing 2 theme and would love to get my hands on blankets like those.

Thanks, Valerie
